CAT Women's Kenzie St Construction Boot

I work in a lumber yard, these are so awesome, no pain breaking them in, they are comfortable, perfect fit to your size, very durable, I am so happy with them, I would buy them again even if they weren't for work cuz they are cute too!!!!

This boots are super comfortable and cute. They also didn’t take long to break in. The only complaint I have is that part of the boot rubs on the bone on the top of my foot. I’m not sure if it’s just the way my feet are or if it is the boot so still have 5 stars!

I usually wear a 9 and I ordered a 9.5 to give me extra room for wool socks and an insert if needed. They’re not very cushioned so an insert is a good add-on. I have medium wide feet and these fit well right out of the box. No breaking in. I needed boots that could handle snow, cacti, dirt, rocks, cow patties, etc. I’ve been wearing them for a while now and I love them. No flaws or defects in the fit or make of the shoe. No blisters, no pinched toes. They’re very scratched up and scuffed, but they’re work boots. They can definitely handle a lot and keep going.

Sigh. Why can't our shoes work as hard as we do and look at good as do too? It saddens me to write this but Kenzie just isn't what she used to be! My first pair lasted me 3 years and I work projects 6-8 months out of the year, often walking more than 5 miles on construction sites. Kenzie has accompanied me through disaster relief (remediation, demo, roofing), electrical, HVAC, concrete, framing, etc. Compliments GALORE! I reordered recently and the quality isn't the same. Glue along the sole, popped stitches, an annoying tongue stitch that rubbed the top of my foot raw, and a heel that bruised, more narrow than before—right out of the box. The first time, these were a dream out of the box. Second time around, quality control is lacking. I took my money over to Keen and haven't looked back! The Flint II and Lansing are AMAZING. More breathability too during hot summers, and waterproof, whereas the Kenzie gets pretty fiery in the Southern heat. It makes my heart ache because these are the cutest steel toes I've ever owned! It's so hard to find non-cliche construction gear as a woman!

These boots are really comfortable and super cute for a work boot! I've never had work boots and definitely not steel toed boots but these are surprisingly comfortable, especially with all the walking I have to do in them. I typically wear an 8 or 8.5 but decided to buy the 8.5 because of the steel toe (I didn't know if it would be super narrow or not). It's a little roomier than I would like but I do wear thicker socks in these boots so it helps...I'd rather have a little extra space than have them overly tight. They haven't caused blisters or anything either, but they are a little tight on the tops of my feet where the laces start...I'm going to put a tennis ball in the spot over the weekend to loosen up that tightness. I would highly recommend to those few girls who actually do need work boots! :)

I read the reviews religiously on these and was SO excited to get them. I've been in need of a new pair of steel toed for a few weeks now and these seemed great. I figured I'd have to wear them in; didn't figure they'd be SO PAINFUL. As most reviews stated, I bought true to size; DO NOT BUY TRUE TO SIZE. I'm a 8.5, bought as such, and these felt like a 7 on my feet. I stretched the toe for about a half hour before putting them on with a pair of thick socks to walk my dogs around the block; a 20 minute walk and the backs of my heels were completely blistered within 5 minutes. (My poor pups got the brunt of my frustration when I cut their walk short and hobbled home with them after 20 minutes-- I couldn't stand it any longer.) While I absolutely LOVE the look of these, and they provided great arch support and definitely seem like they'd be comfortable in other aspects to wear all day long, they're far too tight in all the wrong places and I immediately went to UPS to return them after walking my dogs. Went to a store at the mall nearby, bought a pair of Carolina mens boots in a size 8, and they're a dream compared to these Caterpillars. Go somewhere else to find your next pair of steel toed work boots, or if you're determined to get these ones from the cute style alone, go up at LEAST a full size and prepare heels with some moleskin before wearing for even a few minutes!

I've had these for over a year now, sooo worth the money! I am a machinist and it's hard to meet OSHA requirements and still feel a tiny bit in touch with my feminine side. Other than my own added oil and coolant stains they have held up beautifully. The integrity is the same as when I got them out of the box. Would highly recommend.

These are very cute, supportive, and comfortable straight out of the box. I've never worn steel-toe boots before but I actually love how they fit and feel. I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 9.5 pair, perfect fit for me.
